In the present study, the short and medium-term consequences of proton therapy on cognitive processes are to be highlighted. In a second step, these findings will be compared with a group of children and adolescents who did not receive radiotherapy as part of their curative brain tumor therapy (surgical therapy alone) and with a healthy control group. In this way, the extent to which these treatment options differ in terms of their short and medium-term consequences will be determined. Brain research approaches are used that make it possible to visualize even small changes in mental performance. This means that treatment effects can be easily recorded and thus improve the treatment of children and adolescents with brain tumors in the future.
